NAME
       cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters


SYNOPSIS
       cupsfilter [ -D ] [ -U user ] [ -c config-file ] [ -d printer ] [ -e ] [ -i mime/type ] [ -j job-id[,N] ]
       [ -m mime/type ] [ -n copies ] [ -o name=value ] [ -p filename.ppd ] [ -t title ] [ -u ] filename


DESCRIPTION
       cupsfilter  is  a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which allows you to convert a file to a specific
       format, just as if you had printed the file through CUPS. By default, cupsfilter generates  a  PDF  file.
       The converted file is sent to the standard output.


OPTIONS
       -D
            Delete the input file after conversion.

       -U user
            Specifies the username passed to the filters. The default is the name of the current user.

       -c config-file
            Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.

       -d printer
            Uses information from the named printer.

       -e
            Use every filter from the PPD file.

       -i mime/type
            Specifies  the source file type. The default file type is guessed using the filename and contents of
            the file.

       -j job-id[,N]
            Converts document N from the specified job. If N is omitted, document 1 is converted.

       -m mime/type
            Specifies the destination file type. The default file type is application/pdf.  Use  printer/foo  to
            convert to the printer format defined by the filters in the PPD file.

       -n copies
            Specifies the number of copies to generate.

       -o name=value
            Specifies options to pass to the CUPS filters.

       -p filename.ppd
            Specifies the PPD file to use.
